Hello.

I've finally figured out how to code a module, and now about to use DNN for our intranet.

Question, is there an easy way to add 400 new users with the same generic role into DNN?

I have 400 users from another database taht I'd like to 'import' into the DNN database. Is there a set of
SP's that I should call?

I assume:

for (int i=0;i<users.count;i++){

call SP to create user
call SP to assign role to user
call SP to add to portal

}

Or something like that?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

whirley

I recommend getting a third party module to do this. You may find it very difficult to do with a SQL script. There are many modules on Snowcovered, for example Bulk User Import & Export .

If you want to use SQL, the tables you need to update are:

Users, UserPortals, Roles, UserRoles, aspnet_Users and aspnet_Membership

The aspnet_Users and aspnet_Membership tables will be the hardest to update. The aspnet_Membership record needs an application_id = application_id from aspnet_Applications where ApplicationName = 'DotNetNuke' and a user_id = user_id from aspnet_Users where username = your username. The trouble is you also have to enter values for password & passwordsalt (encrypted password). If you have password encryption turned on in your web.config this could be tough - maybe copy the values from another user?

Note: in past versions of DNN a user needed to have records in all the aspnet_ tables, but in the latest DNN version it looks like the only aspnet_ tables that are used are aspnet_Applications, aspnet_Users and aspnet_Membership.

If you want to import user accounts from OLEDB data sources (ex. MS SQL, Oracle, DB 2, Excel, CSV, mySQL, etc.) check out this product:  http://www.workcontrol.com/Products/UserImport/ProductInformation/tabid/104/Default.aspx
